I agree with 500 on this, A&N didn't build there own, and many are indeed W&S and those actions and their rifles are quite good. I am not 'hung up' on names, and I shoot all I own. I must say, however, that 'names' do bring a higher price not just in the US, but all over. When was the last time you saw an H&H or a Purdey sell for anything near another British 'best' in the same condition, whether sold here, in England, or on the Continent? I am not up on prices in OZ, but I represent a Sydney electronics mfg who collects Leicas and fine wines. He pays top dollars for both and more for a vintage Lecia RF than a 'no name.' As to the wine, he drinks it -- a lot of it. But, as he always assures me, that is what wine is for. Dave
